New blog post in which I quote our lovely erinaceous: Verbing Nouns Planfully and Other Jobs for Word Warriors.
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

Slacker Secret Santa: All of you who want to exchange presents with other Buffistas but haven't mailed the nicest about it yet, this is your chance!
Please send your info (board name and snail-mail address) to my profile address until the 10th of December. By then, I'll match you up to pairs of givers and recipients, and let you know which is who.
Even though it's titled with the word "Slacker" in it, you do remember that last year we voted on a gift-deadline of March, right? It doesn't mean you can't slack, just that there's a limit to it. Hope it's OK.
Your truly,
Absolutely-not-Tiny Jewish not-Santa

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hey, I wrote a letter to the Manolo shoe blog and he published it!!!1! [link] I am way more chuffed by this than I should be, but it has made my day!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Today is our next irregularly scheduled Onerous Task Day.
Should you choose to play along please join us at 2pm EST / 11am PST and cross that lingering, avoided, onerous task off your to-do list.
Make that call, fill out those forms, read that Faulkner, file those invoices, update your files, enter that data, pill that dog, clean out those gutters and get over the hump of hump day.

Slacker Secret Santas!
You've slacked up until the last day, which is today. If you don't send me any info by midnight, board time, you won't be able to play this year and will have to wait for a whole year in order to be able to join the fun, and, oh, my goodness, I'm turning Santa into a Jewish mommy, so I'll stop now.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Calling all pet owners tired of schlepping heavy bags of dog food and having to improvise because you forgot to pick up the cat food and/or litter.
I have a personal request that could work out really well for you!
The pet store that I normally work with in exchange for Bartleby’s supplies has sold out to a restaurant, so a significant source of support has gone away. In these difficult times, that hurts more than I like to confess.
However, I found a terrific, inexpensive delivery service that could potentially cover Bartleby’s needs while removing a certain amount of stress from YOUR life at no additional cost to you.
Petflow is a supply service that is super easy to use while offering competitive or better prices on all your food, treat, supplement and litter needs. They deliver it all to your door for a flat, 4.95 UNLIMITED shipping rate. When I think of the time it takes to get to the store and the wear and tear of schlepping the stuff home, $5 seems more than worth it.
The prices are great. For instance, my dog food brand (Taste of the Wild) costs exactly the same as the retail store (but without tax) and the Merrick Lamb Squares I use as treats costs 30% LESS than the store!
When you set up your delivery schedule, (from 1-14 weeks) you can rest assured that your furry friend will always have supplies on hand. You can cancel or modify your order and schedule at any time.
PLEASE consider what it costs you in time, effort, travel, tax AND brain space (my memory ain’t what she used to be, that’s for sure) and then use my dedicated link to remove those cares from your mind!
If you have any questions, please drop me a line at my profile addy.
I thank you and Bartleby thanks you more than you could know!
The fine print: 1. You must use the dedicated link for me to get credit. [link] 2. Each new user must be a unique customer, with unique shipping and billing address 3. Each new customer must be a recurring customer (one time purchases do not qualify) 4. Each new customer must create a delivery program with at least $30 per shipment 5. Each new customer must have at least 1 valid shipment
